Big Boi's Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty (2xLP White Vinyl)

Just picked up my vinyl copy of Big Boi's new album.
Double White Vinyl+Pic Sleeve+Liner Sheets. Pimpadocious!
Earlier this year when "Shutter Bug" and "For Your Sorrows" leaked,
I had a feeling the LP was not gonna disappoint. Big Boi
brings the heat on the lyrics, killer beats, and pushes the envelope on this project. The kinda quality we've come to expect from Outkast! A solid album from front to back, with some well placed skits thrown in for humor+context. Highly recommended!
They gotta put out an all instrumental version to this album...

Saigon Rock & Soul Compilation: Vietnamese Classic Tracks Circa 1968-74

Saigon Rock & Soul Cover
Came across this compilation today @ Amoeba SF. Had to grab it!
Always been buggin Pops' bout music form way back...not the re-done versions
they got on Viet Variety Shows et al "Paris By Night". Basically I was looking for that funk, psych-folk-acid rock sound. Played this for him and he was naming the tracks and artist with no need of looking at the liner notes, Amazing! Highly recommended to anyone interested in Southeast Asian Pop music form 60-70's (side note: If ya Viet grab this, sure to bridge the generation gap, a great conversation piece with ya folks).

Here's a lil video I found on early viet rock clip from a variety show's special. Sorry no translation.
